Ecotech battery backup with Vectra

[shoelaceike]

Has anyone tested the battery with a vectra pump to see how long it will run? Either straight or with an on/off cycle...

Spec'd at 60hours......
I presume different run times based on your programmed settings.
And youll need the special cable.

I have the S2.
Havent hooked it up to the battery backup or tested it yet tho.
It will be on 2 batteries though. Not on a single battery like the vortech backup.
Home made battery packs.

Oh, I didnt see that anywhere. I've seen the estimates for the MP but not for the vectra. Where do you see this?

Ya, thats not accurate as the vectra uses a lot more power then a vortech....Ecotech doesn't offer any official numbers on the vectra.

Youll need to do some math for your specific scenario. And factor in your variables.
Otherwise youll need to test your setup yourself.

I run 2 batteries @ 36amp hrs. Total.
and the vectra s1 runs @ just under 2 amps.

Calc says 19.8 hours total.
Im sure thats a rough estimate depending on the variables of how much power im drawing (flow) at a given head pressure.
